"God expects human beings to take initiative in overcoming the obstacles that they face. Although He requires that we pray and seek anointing when sick (Jms 5:14), this should not be considered a way to merely get rid of the effects-a spiritual "aspirin". Try to learn what caused your ailments and do whatever possible to prevent relapse. In His infinite wisdom, God knows that there is something we can do to change or remove the cause, so that we do not repeatedly suffer the effect," (God's principle of Healthful Living)
